Stellenbeschreibung

What we want:

Relationship builders: This leader must be able to form relationships with product development teams to influence design as early as possible to avoid late-stage technical issues. Must be comfortable halting a project if something needs to be fixed and be able to communicate rationale objectively.

Passion. This leader needs to be constantly thinking about their team member’s development, organizational structure, achieving project results and how to improve the test function.

Collaborative. The default state of the leader needs to be collaborative, open and curious.

What you'll do:

You will lead a team that brings new products to market for our Sports Medicine business and ensures they meet the clinical needs and quality expectations of our customers. The team develops test plans, methods, and fixtures to challenge product design candidates. This leader needs to be as passionate about the development of their team as they are about the role of Test in new product development and the clinical needs of our Sports Medicine surgeons.

Responsibilities:

This position is equal parts test engineering functional leadership and people management.

Test Functional Leadership: lead a team of multi-disciplinary engineers (mechanical, electromechanical, software) to ensure launched products are robust to all needs of the clinical environment. This result is enabled by clinical knowledge, technical depth and close collaboration with the rest of the new product development team.

People Management: build an engaged team and ensure their professional development. Ensure that Test team members can tie their efforts to the mission of the Sports Medicine business. Help them choose a career path based on their passions and create an individual development plan to help them get there. Provide performance feedback for the team and hold them accountable to a high bar of performance expectations. Develop a deep bench for both people management and technical leadership career tracks within the Test function.

Speed-to-Market: reduce product development cycle time through early experimentation in both benchtop and cadaveric testing. This should start in the concept phase and be a mix of direct test engineer involvement and influence of the R&D team. Drive early, rapid design iterations to avoid later-stage redesigns when overhead of changes is greater and misses may negatively impact a customer.

Infrastructure: create and implement a strategy to invest in infrastructure spanning global locations in a way that drives efficiency and provides leverage for the business.

SMBU Collaboration: implement best practices through partnership with test engineering teams within the Endoscopy Division, across Stryker Corporation and industry benchmarks. The expectation is that this leader is constantly benchmarking and improving the team’s methodologies and technical blocks.
